GRO Records

Interesting thing I'd not seen before - very late December 1921 birth I thought might not appear until the 1922 births are up is showing in the index but with a note about the image being in a later year. Some prior December births only appeared with the next year. So the index and the file uploads are not completely locked together.

Sorry to get all your hopes up.

The usual question, has anyone any recent insight into when the 1864 -1871 death records will be made available online?

Does anyone know if there are any plans to increase the opening hours in werburg street? Current hours are only tues 10-12.30 and 2-4.30 😩😩 Email requests are available, but only possible if the details for the registers are already known. Pretty poor service.

Back in July the dept had 'hope' that they would be completed in the autumn. They neglected to say which autumn.

Anyone been in Werbergh Street office recently? do you get thrown out for lunch break? any news on Research room in Pearse returned to old format?

You're right to give up on the 1864-71 images; there's a distinct attitude of 'not my job' coming from those 'responsible'.

(July '22) "We hope to make the final death register entries available in the Autumn."

(December '22) "The work on the older deaths will be finalised when resources allow and they will then be published on www.irishgealogy.ie. Obligations to customers currently registering events and those requiring certificates of events to conduct their personal and legal business are always a higher priority to this Office."

Be still my beating heart!! I'm looking for a marriage. Fingers crossed for good new soon!

I have 1922 Births!

and 1947 Marriages..........

not to mention 1972 Deaths 😀

I seen the 1922, 1947 info earlier aswell. Your not losing it!

You're right they have disappeared again. It was probably a test upload or something.

We probably have to wait on Catherine Martin to return from where ever and "launch" it offically...

Just my luck – I had one person on my list for 1922, born January in Cork. I already had the key details, a free cert would have been nice. She is in the update, even gives her mother’s maiden name, but no image. “There is currently no image to display. This may be because the record was registered or amended in a later year, or there are quality issues with the original image.”

So the birth must have been registered in 1923.

My main interest is in the early data – images from the 1860’s. I wonder will I see these in my lifetime?

They've basically told me it's not their job to do it.

Me too!

I could not see it working as a 'supervisor - led' project. It would work IMO on a crows source basis, say on the model used by the Australians for TROVE.
